Hi coloradohonda,

When the CEL comes on, there is something wrong with the engine management system.

Get a scan dome to find out if any codes are stored in the ECM memory.

Nobody would be able to help you fix it without knowing the error code.

I finally went to get my check engine light looked at because it went on again, and they printed me out a paper that said:

Global OBDII

DTC (Codes)

P1259
Manufacturer Contrl
Fuel Air Metering

I have no idea what that means though. Can you help me please.
